Answer:
The Loop of Henle serves to create a concentration gradient throughout the nephron which helps increase the reabsorption of water and certain ions. In the thin descending limb, water is very permeable and is reabsorbed due to the existing concentration gradient in the medulla.
<u>Answer:</u>
Cancer cells attached to organs.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The cells which have lost their ability to divide in a controlled manner are categorized as cancer cells.
Cancer cells undergo the process of cell division uncontrollably without stopping which results in the development of cancerous tissues within the body.
Moreover, these cells can form in any of the organs of the body to which several reasons are associated for being responsible for the formation of these cells.
Answer:
Our atmosphere (air) is comprised of 78% of nitrogen. However, this nitrogen is in its elementary state (N₂) and therefore is quite inactive, so the plants can not use it directly. Changing the elementary nitrogen into more reactive forms (NH₃, NO₂, HNO₃) is occurring through the process called nitrogen fixation. It is happening via two processes.
First one is physical nitrogen fixation. When some type of atmospheric physical energy (lightning bolt, for example) reacts with N₂, it splits it in two very reactive N atoms, enabling them to react with oxygen in order to form NO₂.
Second process is biological nitrogen fixation. It's done by bacteria, special bacteria living in the soil, able to use elementary nitrogen for its metabolical pathways resulting in production of ammonia, which can be used by plants. It's noteworthy that bacteria are responsible for about 90% of all nitrogen fixation.
The answer is "C) water exhibits cohesive behavior".
